My cat got stuck between the door and a screen door sometime this morning while were out, and we just got back home. We left at 9 and just came back around 4 pm. When we let her out she was panting really hard, and wouldn't drink any water, although I'm guessing it's becuse she couldn't, not because she didn't want to. She immediately ran to the tile floor downstairs and flopped there panting really hard for maybe 15 minutes. She sounded like a dog! Her front legs and chest were all soggy, and I thought it was sweat, until checking online I found that cats don't have sweat glands. We sprayed some water on her, and rubbed her with damp towels. She seems to be doing fine now, but I read some really scary things about nerve damage and heat stroke while checking online for anything helpful. Anyone have any experience with this and can offer some good advice?
